Concrete Polishing | Metro Vancouver

Residential & Light-Commercial Concrete Polishing

Want the natural concrete look—without dusting and constant upkeep? Our dust-controlled grind-and-polish process hardens the slab, refines the surface to your chosen sheen (from satin to high gloss), and finishes with a penetrating guard for easier cleaning. Ideal for garages, basements, studios, and small showrooms.

Clean, durable finish: no topical coating to peel; stands up to everyday traffic and tire marks.

Low maintenance: dry dust-mop most days; neutral cleaner for occasional deep cleans.

Tailored sheen: pick the look—from soft satin to mirror-like polish.

Polish vs. Coating — Which Is Right for Your Garage?

Choose Polishing If You Want…

The natural concrete look (from satin to high gloss)
No topical coating to peel or yellow
Low maintenance: dust-mop, occasional neutral clean
Better light reflectivity without a “plastic” look

Perfect for basements, studios, and small showrooms.

Choose a Coating If You Need…

Decorative flake or solid-colour look
Extra chemical/spill barrier and easy wipe-clean
Specific traction texture
Fast return to service (walk ~24h, park ~48–72h)

See garage floor coatings or ask us what fits your space.

Sheen Options

Satin (Low Sheen)

Soft, natural concrete look with minimal glare
Most forgiving for small surface variations
Good everyday traction and easy upkeep
Great for basements, studios, and garage gyms (no vehicles)

Semi-Gloss (Balanced)

Clean, bright look with added light reflectivity
Popular “polished” appearance without going mirror-shiny
Wipes clean quickly; dust is less noticeable than high-gloss
Good fit for finished basements, studios, and garage gyms (no vehicles)

High-Gloss (Showroom)

Maximum reflectivity and depth of finish
Best on flatter slabs (shows dust and marks sooner)
Benefits from regular dust-mopping to keep the shine
Ideal for design studios and small showrooms

All options include slab densification and a penetrating guard sealer.

Parking vehicles? We recommend polyaspartic/epoxy coatings instead of polishing.

Our Process (Dust-Controlled)

Initial grind: Diamond grind to remove laitance/contaminants and flatten minor high spots.

Repairs: Fill hairline cracks and pinholes; clean control joints (leave exposed or fill by request).

Densify: Lithium densifier hardens the slab and reduces dusting.

Grout coat: Slurry fill for micro-pits to achieve a tighter, smoother surface.

Refinement passes: Progressively finer diamonds to reach your chosen sheen (satin, semi-gloss, high-gloss).

Guard: Penetrating guard applied thin; burnished on higher-sheen finishes.

Timing: Light foot traffic typically next day; move furniture back in ~24–48 hours. Polishing is for non-vehicle spaces (basements, studios, garage gyms). For parking areas, see polyaspartic/epoxy coatings.

Care & Maintenance

Daily/weekly: Dry dust-mop or microfiber sweep to remove grit.

Spills: Wipe promptly; polished concrete resists dusting but isn’t stain-proof.

Cleaning: Neutral pH floor cleaner diluted per label; auto-scrubber or damp mop works well.

Avoid: Vinegar, bleach, ammonia, citrus/acidic cleaners, or harsh degreasers—they can dull the finish.

Furniture/fitness: Use felt pads or rubber feet under racks and benches; avoid dragging heavy items.

Entry mats: Place mats at exterior doors to cut down on sand and moisture.

Sheen tune-ups: High-traffic areas can be lightly burnished and the guard refreshed as needed.

Note: Polished concrete is recommended for non-vehicle spaces (basements, studios, garage gyms). For areas with parked cars, choose a polyaspartic/epoxy coating.
